I will have limited time with the computer for awhile. easy child has signed up for on-line classes and needs this computer because hers crashed while on her trip to NYC. husband will be getting her a new one soon (I think maybe today?)
easy child calls me at work, "Do you want my old computer?"
"Why would I want your computer if it does not work?"
"All it needs is a new power cord. Dad said he will get one if you want the computer."
"If that is all it needs, why do you need a new computer?"
"I need a better computer for online classes."
Then yesterday she complained about having to watch her godchild last night. I told her that she needs to put her education ahead of those kids she babysits for. She said, "You and dad are the ones who complain that I don't work." "You need a REAL job - one that you can work 1/2 the time and get the same $$$ so you can have more time for school." Also, godchild's grandma needs to not be relying on easy child to watch the baby whenever she isn't able to. Very funny how she freaked out when the baby was very young and easy child was babysitting but it is o.k. for easy child to watch the baby when she is suppose to and has other plans. I had to remind easy child that she only gets paid when godchild's mom is in school - not for the times that the mom is working an/or grandma has the baby.
So, I hope easy child gets a new computer today - then I can be on more often at nights again - otherwise I will need to work around easy child's time.
And I told easy child she needed to get a real job and move out of the house - I have had it with her total disrespect of me and difficult child. I told her that difficult child's problems were a result of her cra##y behavior toward him when he was a baby and toddler and young kid.
She told me that I am her problem because I was born. The stupid thing is that I have not done anything lately except make her accountable for signing up for college and telling her to put her education 1st. I overheard her using her favorite four letter word about me and difficult child on the phone last night and told her that she has a problem to which she replied that I was the problem. Since I am such a huge problem - then she better be finding a new place to live!
She is feeling the pressure of responsibililty and needs to blame someone for her stress - that someone is me as always. She is doing so well - why can't she just be proud of what she is doing and stop focusing on the difficulty?
husband is going to ask easy child to show him a work time budget - She needs to set times to do home work and say "no" to watching the godchild if it is outside the regular time she has agreed to babysit while the mom is at school.
I better get going - gotta get difficult child ready for school and off to work for me. husband will be taking difficult child to school.
